I was responding to the part of that post that said "IT'S BUSH'S FAULT.....NO, NO....IT'S FEMA'S FAULT!!! Look at all the pretty yellow buses under water and explain to me how the hell it's not the city and states fault!", where you seem to be implying that because the city and state messed up, Bush and FEMA had nothing to do with the severity of the damage that occurred.
Is it so hard to admit that Bush and friends had nothing to do with the initial mess which cost lives? And people say the the conservatives are so narrow minded!!
Of course they didn't whip up a hurricane, but they DID refuse New Orleans the necessary funds to fix the levees which were known well in advance to not be strong enough to sustain such a disaster. And it's no coincidence that every two months we're spending as much on the war as the entire cleanup operation for this hurricane is going to cost. Wars are expensive, and in order to conduct them you need to ensure that the taxpayers do not get the full benefit of their tax dollars. So Bush should be held responsible not only for the terrorism and dictatorship that Operation Iraqi Liberation is bringing to the Middle East, but also for the social programs (like levee repairs) that have to suffer here because of the money being pumped into the killing.
